Among the thousands of artifacts which Mrs. Cecile Le Pham, the owner of Cecile Le Pham Museum of Fine Arts at 53 Ham Nghi St., possesses, the collection of ancient Indochinese banknotes brings viewers an interesting perspective on the currency that used to circulate in Vietnam during the French colonial period.

"River in the Evening Summer," "Lake at Dawn," "Wheat Field," or "Under the Shade of Dusk"... were among the works in a collection of 19 paintings by Emperor Ham Nghi that were put up for auction.

Emperor Ham Nghi’s paintings show harmony in composition, light and color in an impressive style. The artist's emotional realistic landscape paintings are always imprinted with an oriental soul.
